Abstract The study employed a survey research design and a multinomial ordinal logistic regression analysis to establish users’ perception on the effectiveness of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in enhancing the performance of the accounting information system (AIS) through reliability, accuracy and timeliness of information generated. The target population comprised of 56 employees drawn from the selected seven public universities which had implemented ERP systems for at lea...
ABSTRACT A triple system is an absolutely fascinating concept in projective geometry. This project is an extension of previously done work on triple systems, specifically the triples that fit into a Fano plane and the (i, j, k) triples of the quaternion group. Here, we have explored and determined the existence of triple systems in Z ∗ n for n = p, n = pq, n = 2mp and n = pqr with m ∈ N, p, q, r ∈ P, and p > q > r. A triple system in Z ∗ n has been denoted by (k1, k2, k3) where there...
ABSTRACT This study seeks to analyse the appropriateness of the Early Warning Systems (EWS) in the management of Climate change impacts in Uganda. The appropriateness of the EWS in this study is conceived as an independent variable while the management of Climate Change impacts is the dependent variable. The EWS shall be measured in terms of risk knowledge among the study population, availability of technical monitoring, and communication about the risk and the response capabilities of the co...
Abstract/Overview Agricultural production in Kenya has stagnated since 1980s resulting in malnutrition in over 89% of Kenya’s population. Food insecurity has been identified as the prime cause of malnutrition. Low agricultural productivity due to declining soil fertile from poor cropping systems and use of non adapted exotic crop species has worsened this situation. Intercropping offers advantages if well planned including improved soil fertility and yields. Bambara groundnuts have show...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to come up with a system that allows online hybrid sales analysis The main contributing reason for the development of this system is that the company has no particular system which is used for predicting sales The research main objectives were to make a system which permits compilations of agents sales and calculating the revenue that have been collected at a particular time. Different alternatives where looked at and these include improving the current s...
ABSTRACT With the advent of digital age, it is inevitable for Real estate’s organizations to reinforce security measures to protect data form loss, unauthorized viewing or corruption. ~l’he need to secure stored data and data on transit in a network birthed, and also to ensure data is managed and controlled with efficient measures, to avoid redundancy, inconsistency, incompatible file formats and fixed queries among other limitations of paperwork. The gist of this project revolves around ...
Abstract Sorghum as a drought tolerant crop provides an alternative opportunity towards increasing food production in the face of global climate change, mostly affecting Sub-Saharan Africa. Kenya is in the fore front in increasing the production of sorghum since its landmass is 80 percent arid and semi-arid. Few studies have evaluated farm and farmer related characteristics affecting adoption of sorghum production. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine how selected factors ...
ABSTRACT Optimal allocation of products to downstream locations is a major requirement for minimizing the distribution costs associated with supply chain systems. Unfortunately many supply chain managers rely on, their intuition and feelings to make these allocation decisions. In this study a mathematical model was developed for minimizing the distribution cost in a multi-product 2-echleon supply chain system. The distribution system of a leading bottling plant in Nigeria was studied to under...
ABSTRACT In this work, sufficient conditions for the constrained controllability of linear and semi linear systems with delay in state and control are formulated and proved. For the linear delay system, necessary and sufficient conditions are developed by establishing the equivalence of a delay system without delay to show local relative controllability. For the semi linear delay system, sufficient conditions are also developed by using the associate linear dynamical system to establish ...
Abstract: The use of electronic voting systems (EVS’s) is seen as an alternative to traditional manual voting because it aims at increasing efficiency, lowering cost of running election, reducing counting mistakes and improving the accuracy of the results. This has led to electronic voting systems being adopted in most countries to replace traditional paper-based voting systems. Currently, Botswana uses a traditional paper-based voting system. This method of voting comes with several chall...
Abstract Consumers’ complaints of estimated bills from the Utility have risen to an alarming extent in recent years. On the other hand, Utility incurs huge losses attributing it to electric energy consumption theft among consumers. These complaints by the utility and the consumer led to the quest for a system that in addition to recording energy consumption data, will be able to compute and report the data to the Utility remotely. This work proposes the implementation of smart meter which...

Abstract: Spatiotemporal information on crops and cropping systems can provide useful insights into disease outbreak mechanisms in croplands. In September 2011, a severe outbreak of Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) disease was reported in Bomet County, Kenya. We aimed to detect severely MLN-infected fields and discriminate mono, inter, and continuous maize cropping systems. We collected in-situ MLN severity observations and acquired multi-date and multi-sensor data viz., RapidEye (RE), Sentinel-1...
